Smart-Intelligent-Wondrous

I am constantly delighted by the new things I learn while reading the Fiction/Non-Fiction writings of Dan Brown. If all of history could be taught with some style, color, detail, and suspense, then every student who ever sat in a history class would make straight A's- The information is absolutely unforgettable.

Dan Brown has an amazing way of threading factual information into a fiction novel. Suspense novels written about actual people, places, and things lends an element of reality that is uncommon in most fiction lit. Brown writes in such a way that you feel like this event actually took place, and that only you- the reader, and the author are privy to this inside information.

I cannot put them down.

Once I have picked up a book from Brown, I cannot put it down. The information is like sunlight on a dying plant, immediately the dying vines of grey matter in my head are instantly recharged by the photosynthesis of Brown's words. I luxiariate in the warm blissfulness of his phrasing, the awesome alliteration, and the wonderful characters. And if the characters, the phrasing, and the information is not enough, the story is pretty darn fascinating as well. Dealing with secret societies and long-forgotten brotherhoods may not be intriguing to some, but if you have an appetite for something wildly different, something a little gamey, then Brown is the author for you.

When it comes to reading other's writing, I have a very critical eye. I hate poor metaphors, and simple simile's. I want style, color, visuals, depth- a meaty story with a zesty sauce- if you go too light on either you get a plate that is unpleasant to the palate.

When it comes to Dan Brown- I say you better grab a biscuit, he gives you plenty of information to sop up, and when you push away from the table, you leave feeling deliciously full and satisfied. B
